I never understand that as you must get water dripping on the squeegeed windows?

Go tell them he's crazy. I'm sure someone will listen.

I understand the enjoying using a squeegee more. Its the safety aspect that screws me up

There is window cleaning and there is window cleaning.How many hours at £25-£60 per hour does it take to pay for your weekly water?

If your faster trad on downstairs you must be very slow wfp or a speed demon trad.
Oh and your downstairs windows must all be within easy reach
